Hinduism through the evil eyes of LeftHistorians.
First of all, there is no such religion as #Hinduism. This name was coined by Britishers.
In this story, I’ve tried to bust the lies of #Communist Historians to malign the Sanatana Dharma using facts and evidence. Our philosophy is 5000+ years old and is about the universal truth - Sanatana Dharma that all mankind should aspire for.
It is the oldest religion in the World.
The #Sanatanis have never been a proselytizing race. #PanditNehru went on record to admit this. It has existed from ancient times, even before the advent of proselytizing religions (#Buddhism, #Christianity, and #Islam).
Unfortunately, we have always been taught the #Left version of History. which has always been Delhi-centric and anti-Sanatani.
The oldest reference to Sanatana Dharma is found in the Vedic Age (1500 BCE-500 BCE).
The Rigveda (believed to be written by Aryans) is the oldest out of the 4 Vedas.
Note: The Aryans were not foreigners. The Aryan Invasion Theory was a British policy...
... to justify their own intrusion into India & their subsequent colonial rule: in both cases, a “white race” was seen as subduing the local darker colored population. Even #BabasahebAmbedkar rejected this theory. Recent investigations have also discarded it.
Brahmins are portrayed as Aryans (Superior race) subduing Dalits, the original inhabitants of India. Not to forget that this same Aryan Invasion Theory has always been used by #Communist Historians to create caste-divide in the Sanatana Dharma.
The #Rigveda has several hymns composed by female Sages like Apala, Lopamudra, Ghosha, etc. This highlights the importance of women in Sanatana Dharma.
The society during the Early Vedic Age was ‘egalitarian’. All people were equal and had equal rights. The Later Vedic Age (1000 BCE- 500 BCE) mentions the Varna System.
The two most important epics of the Sanatana Dharma were written during this period - #Ramayana and #Mahabharat both suggest that Casteism was not encouraged in #SanatanaDharma.The Bhagavad Gita too emphasizes on Karma and not Varna. I agree that the Varna System existed but it intensified by the #Britishers and #Communists to create a divide in the Sanatana Dharma.
With the advent of Buddhism in the 6th Century BCE, the entire scenario changed. Though Gautama Buddha did not believe in the teachings of the Vedas, he was influenced by the Upanishads which are an integral part of the Vedic Literature.
Though Buddhism has been portrayed as an ideal religion by Leftist Historians, it is not flawless. Contrary to general perception, casteism was being practiced in Buddhism as well.
Yes, Caste-System exists in #Buddhism as well. Women did not have the same status as men. Gautama Buddha himself believed that there could never be a female Buddha. Slavery was also justified. In fact, Buddhism was used by Left Historians to defame Sanatana Dharma in every way possible.
The Mauryan Empire and Buddhism
Chandragupta Maurya, the founder of the Mauryan Empire was a disciple of Chanakya, a Brahmin. Chanakya made him the great King he was. Ashoka patronized Buddhism and even converted to it. Buddhism spread from India to different parts of the World during his reign. The Mauryan Empire was succeeded by the Shunga Empire. Pushyamitra Shunga, a Brahmin, was portrayed as an Anti-Buddhist in Buddhist sources. But there is no authoritative evidence. Buddhists have been partial to him just because he didn’t patronize Buddhism. The Stupas at Sanchi were renovated during his reign. He also built the stone gateway at Sanchi.
The later Shungas even built railings around the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya to protect it. The current pyramidal structure of the Mahabodhi Temple dates from the Gupta Empire, in the 5th–6th century CE. The Guptas were Sanatanis as well.
The Mahabodhi Temple was built according to the Hindu Temple Architecture.
In Medieval #India, Sanatana Dharma was constantly attacked by #IslamicInvaders.
Despite this, these #LeftHistorians have always glorified these invaders.
The Sultans of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughals did their best to torture and proselytize Sanatanis.
From its control of major academic institutions such as the JNU, AMU, etc. to slanted history-writing to building anti-Hindu political coalitions, the Left is clearly inimical to many Sanatani interests. The #LeftLobby leaves no chance in maligning India & the Sanatanis.
Take the Ram Janmabhoomi for example. Initially, Left Historians like Romila Thapar and Irfan Habib advocated the non-existence of a Temple. Later they argued that Ayodhya is a Buddhist-Jain center.
Even KK Muhammad, the then Regional Director of ASI,...
...who was also part of the first excavation in 1976-77 supported the existence of a huge #RamMandir at #Ayodhya. He has openly alleged a #Communist conspiracy in this whole episode. But the recent excavations at the site have busted their lies. There is definitely something about the #SanatanaDharma of which the #Left is afraid of. Perhaps, unity. And hence, they’ve constantly tried to divide us in the name of caste.
It is really important for all of us to unite and stop fighting in the name of caste.
